## Resource

I Saw the Best and Worst of Sports Fandom This Weekend. The Difference is Stunning. I was in Dallas when Japan stunned the Netherlands at the World Cup. Hours earlier, I watched the Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years. Same weekend. Same euphoria. Completely different aftermath. Japanese fans celebrated by cleaning up the stadium. Knicks fans set buses on fire, stabbed strangers, and put a teenager in a coma. I've studied human behavior my entire career. What happened in New York is a symptom of something deeper. And the Japanese showed us exactly what the cure looks like. This episode breaks down the psychology of why — and what it's going to take to change it.
